Amazon.com Product Description
The MDR-F1 full-open-air headphones provide top-end comfort and sound quality. Sony's full-open-air system gives you a wider stereo soundstage; it accomplishes this by placing the drive units at the rear of your ears, providing a more spacious sound. The die-cast magnesium alloy frame and super duralumin headband are lightweight and strong. These materials withstand both flexing and resonance. The double headband distributes the small amount of weight evenly, while the leatherette head and ecsaine earpad material provide comfortable materials for next-to-the-skin luxury. The eleven foot cord (3.5 meters) is single-sided to minimize cord tangle.
Sony has installed several key features to these headphones to make their sound quality excellent. The fifty millimeter drive units delivers a deep bass sound and a wide dynamic range (the frequency range extends down to 10 Hz.) The MDR-F1 headphones require no amplifier impedance matching hardware. Sony's Impedance Compensator equalization circuitry, built into the headphones, eliminates sound variations caused by amp impedance differences. Both the stereo mini-plug and the screw-in UniMatch plug are gold-plated to make sure sound is transported fully and accurately. The gold-plated treatment also helps resist corrosion and supports the headphones' high conductivity and low noise. High-power neodymium magnets allow for maximum power at a minimum size. Finally, the acoustic bass lens works with the PET diaphragm to deliver very deep bass sound.
Excellent fit, excellent compatibility and excellent sound: these headphones fit the bill for a sound professional. They come with a hard carrying case for transport protection.

High Quality Headphones to brag about!.......2005-02-20
The Sony MDR-F1 Headphones are a respected headphone in the industry, and for a good many number of reasons. First I would like to say that these are NOT studio headphones. They have studio quality speakers, but because they are open-air style headphones, there will be a little other background noise.
With that said I will now brag about these amazing stereo headphones. They weigh practically nothing when on your head because of the band that lifts them from your head. There is also little place where these headphones touch your head, and don't touch your ear at all. They are the standard for real and true open air style. There is no place where they even graze your ear, even with a large ear like me. They can look really cool, and they are EXTREMELY LOUD when you need them to be. They can easily be plugged into a laptop and be used as external speakers to save energy as well as increase volume level. They pair with many portable audio players, especially ones that support 8 ohm output.
But that is just comfort and style. The sound is a totally seperate story. Talk about AMAZING!! I comapred them to my friends noise-canceling Bose headphones, and there were many differences. Please note that I turned the noise-cancelation on for the tests, so give it as much help as it could get. Now I should mention that I am a real Audiophile, and can be very picky about this. I rated the sound of the MDR's on a 1-10 scale, with 1 at Discusting and 10 for Unbelievable.
For lower Frequences like a bass guitar or the main beat of a r&b song, they are number one. In there description from sony it is pointed out that they have a special driver on the speaker that aids in clarity and pronouncieation of the bass. And how amazing they work. Simply un-deniable bass from these. It made the Bose look like third-rate over-priced paper-cone speakers. 11/10 for bass.
For midtones sony did what they do normally, giving it the standard design for those mid frequencies that include slightly lower voices and classical music. But don't underestimate the beauty of Sony and mid's. However Bose out-did them here. I believe that Bose loves to get to this on most of there woofers, so I was expecting this. for the MDR's, I give it 8.5/10 for mids
The High Notes. To many this is the most important. Due to the large size of the speakers and the solid construction, the high notes came out most exelent. Even on the highest pitches, there was no hiss or the very common rattle at high notes. They are made from a solid metal frame which has taken a lot, and can take the High's very well. Now when I compared this to the Boses' I Had trouble noticing any differences, and had to get out my meter on my computer that displays and remakes frequencies to do something like this. Both are almost equal contenders, with the only difference is that the Bose will be a little quietter on the hights, but by about +/- .03 dB. Thats not much. So little that I eventually gave up and said that they were as close to perfect as any will get. 10/10.
But there is something to considder when deciding what to get. "What am I going to listen to and where?" If you are on the plane a lot and like classical music to calm your nerves then bose. If you Rock out a lot and are in school or the office a lot, the Sony's are better in this case. Plus the Range of the sound. Love that bass? sony. Cant get enough of the vocals? Bose. It is very much on taste, and since I LOVE rock of all kinds the MDR-F1's were a blessing from God. I understand that Pioneer is also coming out with a new headphone that is very simmilar to both of these combined, which is also a thing to considder. One last thing. Open-Air Design. If you like to listen to music and only the music, this is not the good style for you. But if you feel better off knowing when someone is talking to you when you are listening to music, the MDR-F1 is the answer. And both of these headphones look a little funny on some people, but very few. The sony's look awkward on a tall and thin person with a suit on and a briefcase, but the Bose's look incredibly expensive, and they are, and are not for the t-shirt wearing pedestrian or casual man or woman. Again it is all about taste.
best headphones ever. period........2005-01-04
To this day, I have never felt strongly enough about any product to write a review about it.
But, for anyone considering this set of headphones, i must tell you this.
You will never find a better sounding AND incredibly comfortable set ANYWHERE.
I purchased more than one just in case the one i had somehow broke.
You cant go wrong!

Perfect HDTV.......2007-06-15
We reviewed the other (nearly identical) model on our show in March and I liked it so much I decided to buy one. I love Amazon.com, that's why the review is also posted here. When I got mine, I was overjoyed. You can check out the full review of the FN model at htguys.com, but here's the conclusion:
What we liked
* Awesome HD picture
* Amazing black levels
* Great, real color
* Excellent detail
* Two HDMI inputs
* Price
What we disliked
* Remote control
* Menu system
* Input switching with the factory remote
Conclusion
The JVC HD-61FN97 is an excellent value. It looks great, does a wonderful job with HD content, a great job with DVDs and a pretty good job with standard definition TV. Blacks are good, contrast is solid, colors are excellent and detail is vivid. We try to look for great values to help you (and us for that matter) get a little more out of each hard earned dollar. You'd be hard pressed to find a better looking 61" TV at its price. It really helps bring the big screen home.
Simply THE best regardless of price........2007-04-20
I've owned this display now for about 3 months. Simply put; I could not be happier. The picture is absolutely stunning and flawless. When watching Discovery HD on my DirecTV HD receiver; you are there! At the time of this writing Discovery HD is about 3 weeks into their "Planet Earth" series and to see the beauty of this incredible program on this display is quite frankly mind-boggling. Even the sound on the internal speakers which I only use occasionaly is great for internal TV speakers. The blue light on the front that some seem to be a little disturbed about that it could distract them is not distracting to me at all, but if it distracts you, it can be dimmed or turned off completely; so that is not an issue. The fan is as quiet as you're going to get and can only barely be heard with the volume completely down, and the wife and I sit only about 7 1/2 feet away.
I was offered a choice at the store where I buy of getting the 60" Sony, the 61" Samsung or the 61" JVC all 1080p displays and all at the exact same price...The JVC was in my opinion the hands down winner in picture quality. That said, I'm sure either of the other 2 displays would also make pretty much anyone happy.
In any case, trust me...with this display, and my Parasound pre/pro and amps, Aerial (FL, FR, and center) and Energy (4 rear channels) speakers, 2 15" DefTech subs all set up in a 7.2 configuration...As my wife now says: The theatres are so inferior. Ya gotta love it!
I HIGHLY recommend this display to even the most discerning videophile.
Pleasure to Watch.......2007-03-13
It took me months before I made up my mind about a TV, it was a hard decision to go with LCD, Plasma or Rear Projection. They all looked great but everyone has their own opinion it seemed, but since I wasn't going to hang the TV, I saw no reason to spend the extra, plus the reflection off the other screens would have been too much I thought, and I was 100% right about the choice. Unfortunately I only had this TV For two months before it was stolen while I was on vacation! But it sure was a pleasure to have and I watched many movies on it and they were all great and looked better than movie theater screens....except some with a lot of motion, at times the TV did not process as quick and delay was there but that's with almost all the Rear Projections (even some Plasma) TVs I have seen so far too.
It's a True 1080P and it will be even better once that is implemented but for the price and the look you get, there is no better TV in the market at this time. I am just sorry it was stolen, but I am buying the SAME TV, which should tell you how good it is when you have an option to change your mind after two months. The Stand that I got was also great look with the TV so I am looking at the stand and keep hoping it will be here soon again so I can start ordering my DVDs!
JVC HD61FN97...after very long study.......2007-01-06
I finally made a decision on which HDTV to purchase after a lengthy study. Although I am not taking delivery for a few days, I feel I know this tv very well. Also I hope this review can help others who are considering this unit. I was torn between the Sony XBR2, the Samsung 61" and the JVC. All are 1080p but the Samsung is said to have "wobulation" which is not TRUE 1080p so... I finally decided to purchase the Sony, ($3000) based on all the great reviews this tv had. I also am a believer in the LCOS technology over DLP. Anyway, I couldn't get the JVC out of my mind. Everytime I went to Best Buy to research tv's I kept seeing the unbelievable picture on the JVC. The Sony, no matter what store, never had a great "out of the box" picture, like the JVC. And no, the JVC hadn't been tweaked. When I saw the price included a $300 stand, it was just to financially a plus not to get the JVC. Technically a $1300 differance. I know many will say that the Sony is better but I couldn't deny the fantastic picture I saw at the store. I just can't justify spending $1300 more for the Sony. I'd rather have the extra money for maybe an HD-DVD player. After I take delivery, I will comment on the tv after about a month.
